Welcomes, non-networking discussions, place to blow off steam and such.
If you want to talk politics, religion, or other controversial topics, take your discussions to another forum. We encourage our members to be politically active, to have the religion (or lack thereof) of their choice, and to develop informed opinions on controversial topics... just not here.

Virtualization, load balancers, link balancers, cooling solutions, cabling solutions, physical security, flooring, labeling, even servers and sysadmin stuff - all that goes here. Keep in mind that the less networky the thing you discuss, the less participation you may see in that discussion, since this [is] a networking set of forums.

Maybe we can help you, maybe we can't. For best results, know your equipment make and model and have the user manual for it handy. We will not provide assistance for evading provider security or service restrictions.

Discussions of certification programs and exams for networking technologies. DO NOT POST OR REQUEST TEST QUESTIONS FROM ANY EXAM, CURRENT, IN DEVELOPMENT, OR EXPIRED. DO NOT POST OR REQUEST COPYRIGHTED TEST PREP MATERIALS. While we're saying what not to do, don't post or request links to any of the above, as well as any software that a vendor has not cleared you to distribute for free. Links to legal freeware, such as GNS3, are fine.
Also for discussions of careers. Very nice, yes?
